Harvest & Ale

I went here a few weeks ago with a group of about 10 people for a family member's birthday. They were so nice and accommodating. We had preferences for some family members that we expressed in a small way and they went out of the way to help and make it happen. But for starters the people in Valet are so friendly and welcoming. Nice isn't even the appropriate word for them. Then the whole staff including our waitress Sophia was so helpful and absolutely pleasant. Her demeanor and care was amazing. Plusnshe handled a few of my family members multiple questions with such ease and joy. Thanks to her for dealing with that haha. Also the food was plentiful. Among all though one of the best staff I have seen in a while.

My family and I have wanted to try Harvest & Ale in Oakland, NJ, for years since I go to school nearby. We’ve always heard such great things about it, and I’m so glad we finally went—it completely exceeded our expectations! Everything from the food to the drinks was spectacular. I ordered the “Farm Burger,” which was packed with flavor—the garlic aioli on top was the perfect finishing touch. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable, which made the entire experience even better. The atmosphere was terrific. We sat upstairs, which had a more formal and intimate vibe, while downstairs seemed more casual and relaxed. The lighting, mood, and overall ambiance were set perfectly for a cozy night out. Our waitress was fantastic—friendly and attentive. She gave us just the ri

What a wonderful first dining experience here. It was our waitresses first day serving and she was excellent. Hear of this restaurant through a social media platform and decided to give it a try for date night. Boy were we not disappointed the food was so delicious and flavorful where you can literally taste each individual flavor. I had the salmon and my husband had a chicken dish. Love how you are served a full bottle of cold water for your table. Can't wait to come back again. MAKE RESERVATIONS!!!!!!

Excellent meal, the food tasted very fresh and the ambience on the 2nd floor is great. I had the buttermilk scallops ($40, excellent) and they were so good. I would get them again. We also had the crab tartlette ($16, okay), swordfish special, and creme brulee ($12, very good). Really enjoyed the farm to table/local ingredients, it does make a difference in taste. For dinner parking, we had to do the complimentary valet and it worked out well.

I’ve been here a couple of times and have never left disappointed. Today, I ordered food to go, and once again, I’m not disappointed. I’m very pleased that they genuinely care about good quality and fresh ingredients. The hostesses are also very nice. So far, this is my favorite place to go for a good dinner.
